University of Portsmouth Library FAQs

Turnitin is used by students to check their work is correctly referenced and to submit assignments electronically. Turnitin is an internet-based plagiarism prevention service that also provides the ability to mark assignments online and provide feedback to students. 

Turnitin is not a Library service, but you can find help here:

•  Moodle - which includes text and video information demonstrating how to create originality reports and submit your work. You should be able to access these from any Moodle unit. 
• Elearn - Adding a Turnitin Assignment in Moodle 
• MyPort also provides help on Understanding a Turnitin Originality Report and additional help for Turnitin Draft Coach

If you are experiencing technical issues whilst using Turnitin, please email elearn@port.ac.uk (as Turnitin is not a library service,  you will need to contact this specific email address)
